Thoughts?

It's called FoF or "force on force training." And if it isn't done well, and managed by people with some training and experience in setting up and running FoF, the odds of someone getting killed in the process are high enough to make it a dangerous practice. For example, the pages of the book Training at the Speed of Life ( http://www.armiger.net/ ) tell the stories of any number of LEOs who were killed in scenario based training accidents. And these people were professionals...

A bunch of waist-high kids playing cowboys and indians is one thing. Grownups out in public with realistic looking Airsoft guns? Do I really need to say anything about how scenarios need to be planned, secured, and run in order to keep some real life cop- or some real gun carrying CCW holder- from accidentally getting involved? I hope not.

IMHO FoF is not something that needs to be undertaken without a good deal of preparation. Of course, YMMV.

Scenario-Based (Force-on-Force) Defensive Handgun Course

This is a lecture/range course where John S Farnam will be discussing and demonstrating close disengagement and close fighting methods using pistols, blades, and other weapons. Emphasis is on successful disengagement with reasonable force.

This course does includes live-fire range exercises.

In addition, students will suit-up with appropriate protective gear and Airsoft Pistols and participate in roll-playing drills where verbal skills, postural skills, tactical movement, use of cover, personal tactics, brandishing skills, shooting skills, and integration with partners are all combined in real-time exercises. After each exercise, students are critiqued and evaluated.

This is an opportunity to train and test/exercise your disengagement skills in an environment that is as real as we can make it.

Please consult the Schedule for a location and time which would be best for you.
